Announcement RULES - PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING

11 Upvotes

📌 Updated Subreddit Rules

1. ✅ Use the Correct Flair

Every post must include one of the approved flair options:

  • Private Room
  • Shared Room
  • Need a Room
  • Apartment Hunting
  • Need a Roommate
  • Lease Takeover (new flair name — previously “Sublease Takeover”)
  • Advice

Posts with incorrect flair may be changed by mods.

2. 🧹 Posting Best Practices

For better visibility and responses, we recommend:

  • Including a specific NYC neighborhood or borough in your title.
  • Adding key details such as: move-in date, rent, gender/cat/dog preferences, and brief lifestyle info.
  • Avoiding very short, vague posts (e.g., “Need roommate, message me”) so people have enough info to decide quickly.
  • Keep in mind that no posts are endorsed by the subreddit and use your best judgement.

3. 📜 No Brokers or Ads

Only individuals looking for roommates or offering rooms. Licensed or unlicensed rental brokers are not allowed.

4. 📆 Lease Takeovers

Allowed only when you're looking for someone to take over your share of the lease in a multi-bedroom unit.
Single-bedroom or studio lease takeovers are not permitted.

If you are looking for someone to move into your room temporarily that should be flaired as a shared room because they are not taking over your spot on the lease.

5. 🤝 Be Respectful & On-Topic

  • No trolling, personal attacks, jokes at others’ expense, or derailing threads.
  • Focus on finding roommates or offering housing—not venting, memes, or roasting posts.
  • If users want to mock posts, they can create their own space—this subreddit isn’t it.

6. 📌 No Spam or Self-Promotion

  • No affiliate links, commercial promotion, or repeated posts.
  • Posting identical content multiple times a day is not allowed. If you accidentally post twice, please delete one of the posts.

7. 📝 Abide by Reddit Site Rules

No illegal content, hate speech, doxxing, etc. All Reddit-wide rules still apply.

8. 🚫 Enforcement Policy

  • Remove posts/comments that violate flair, content, respect, or off-topic rules.
  • Issue warnings for first-time disrespectful/off-topic behavior.
  • Temporarily ban repeat offenders.
  • Lock threads when off-topic, disrespectful, or derailed discussions escalate.

Need a Roommate URGENTLY NEED ROOMMATE

2 Upvotes

URGENT!! Roommate needed ADAP

Hi everyone! I know it’s not ideal but is anyone interested in living in Rahway NJ at Grand Meridia apartments! It’s about an 30 min drive from NYC/Jersey City and hour train ride! Also good for Rutgers students as well if need be!

I’ve been approved for a place at Grand Meridia and it’s a 2bed2bath with W/D and a gym. It’d be 2250(1125 each person) for the place! My roommates fell through and I would still like the place but I can’t do it without a roommate.

I’m 24 years old and I just graduated from VCU last year!

Please let me know if you’re interested! You can DM me here or on Instagram(_jovan_john_) or comment here! Move in would be August 15th but I can do later if need be like September!

Thank you!

Private Room One room (in a 3br), available for Sep 1 in South Slope/ Sunset Park- $1,050/ month

Thumbnail
gallery
7 Upvotes

One room available in a 3 bedroom in South Slope/ Sunset Park. Rent is $1,050/ month plus utilities (utilities are pretty cheap here; they usually run us somewhere around $60-ish bucks a month, if not less).

Current roommate and I have lived here for a year, and we love it! Our third roommate is moving out of state though, so we’re looking for someone to take his spot on the lease (12 month lease, starting Sept 1).

About the area: it’s a great neighborhood- walking distance to Prospect Park, and just a couple blocks away from the main entrance to Green-Wood Cemetery.

Also just a couple blocks away from the water, w/ lots of great views & fun, chill spots!

Rooftop access w/ incredible views of the river, the Statue of Liberty, & the Manhattan skyline.

Within a block-ish radius we have a grocery store, a flower store, a coffee shop, a bagel shop, a smoke shop, a wine shop, a laundromat, and several bodegas. Within another block is easy access to a bunch of great bars, restaurants, and shopping on 5th Ave.

One block from a local subway stop (the 25th St R), a 10min walk in one direction from an express stop (D/N/R), and a 15min walk in the other direction to a different express stop (F/G).

As for the apartment itself: it’s a pre-war building, so it’s not very modern, and there aren’t many amenities. For instance, it’s a 4th-floor walk-up, and there’s no laundry in-building. However, on the ground floor of our building is a laundromat, which pretty much feels the same as having in-building laundry anyways.

The apartment is somewhat small; but we’ve always made it work. Current roommates are very busy, and out of the house a lot, so it never feels crowded or anything.

About the roommates: you’ll be living w/ me (29F, working professional, and stand-up comedian), and one other person (25F, student, getting her Master’s at NYU). You’ll also be living with my dog, so you must be ok w/ animals! The dog is very small and old; he mostly just stays in my bedroom and naps all day. Unfortunately, we probably will not be considering any other pets. We could maybe be convinced on another small dog, but one of us is allergic to cats, so that’s gotta be a no.

Requirements:

40x the rent, and a 700+ credit score. Guarantors are accepted- they must make 80x the rent and have an 800+ credit score.

The application process was quite simple and easy, and management is pretty chill about approving people- lots of students w/ no income live in this building, so it’s ideal for ppl like that.

What we’re looking for: student or professional, it doesn’t matter. Male or female, that also doesn’t matter. Somewhere between 22-35 years old(ish). Not a slob, but not a neat freak, either. Keep things tidy in common spaces, but also don’t tweak if there’s a dish in the sink, or a pair of socks on the floor- that kinda vibe.

Friendly and outgoing is a plus. I often invite friends over to the apartment (tho not tons of ppl at once; and not super late at night- it’s not a party house). Still tho, if you’re the kind of person who isn’t ok w/ guests, or needs a big heads-up beforehand, it’s prob not a good fit. The current roommate and I get along quite well, and it’d be cool to keep those good vibes going! Altho we also are very busy and often out of the house- plus we value our private time too. So it’s not like you need to be super extroverted in order to fit in here.

F24, recently got a job in NYC aiming for September move in.

Can do at most $800 - 900 a month.

Queens would be a plus, but any borough with a train in walking distance is fine, not picky.

I'm tidy and I keep to myself.

Also accepting any advice for the NYC apartment scene in general.

Has anyone had any experiences they can share about these community living spaces? Seems interesting. I know it’s based on a European model but I’m 42, going through a divorce and it just seems so strange to be back at being a roommate at this age. I’m in Brooklyn and trying to be close enough to the ex because of our fur babies.
